It can be difficult to think new and exciting things to do with your significant other or to come up with an idea for a first Tinder date that doesn’t involve coffee or Netflix and chill. Don’t worry, though–these 10 museums in the U.S. are quirky and sure to keep you and bae entertained!

The Studio Be gallery in New Orleans is anything but ordinary. The art in this 35,000 square foot warehouse explores African-American history, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, social activism, and New Orleans culture.

This museum in North Carolina is incredibly unique. Once you pay the admission fee, you can try out more than 80 pinball machines. This is perfect for the gamer couple looking to try something a bit more vintage than the Xbox.

4. National Museum of Funeral History

Ah, nothing says romance like reflecting upon your impending death. For the couple who’s interested in dead celebrities, funeral practices, or weird museums in general, this place in Houston is for you.

This is only for the couples who have a sense of humor. To be honest, I’d go here on a date. You can roam around and look and all of the relics of relationships past and laugh–just try not to think too hard about how yours might be finite. Hilarious if you’re happily together, but maybe skip this one if you’re on the rocks.

2. Musical Instrument Museum

This is a must-see for musical couples. Take a look at instruments used by famous musicians, from Elvis to John Lennon to Taylor Swift, and if you’re looking to splurge you can even attend a concert there.

Hey, not all of us can be Van Gogh, okay? If you’ve been to a trillion art museums and want to see something new and amusing, browse this museum of absolutely atrocious artwork. It’s undergoing construction right now but should be back very shortly!
